A summer giveaway that turns your next car move into something bigger
Summer is the best time for B.C. drivers. Whether you’re mapping out a camping trip, planning a coastal road trip or finally making that vehicle switch you’ve been putting off, the season has a way of making everything feel more possible, including scoring a brand-new car. BCAA Auto Marketplace is leaning into that energy with a summer giveaway worth entering.
Log in or sign up for a chance to win a brand-new Toyota C-HR EV crossover. You can also win monthly $500 gas gift cards by answering questions weekly. For B.C. and Yukon drivers already thinking about their next move, this is your sign.
“Spring and summer are the prime times that people switch up their car buying,” says Jeff Huang of BCAA. “People are looking to sell because it’s much easier to do a test drive, it’s easier to take pictures. And people don’t want to look for a new car in the middle of winter."
The electric advantage The Toyota C-HR prize taps into something a lot of drivers are already weighing. Gas prices haven’t let up and electric vehicles are becoming more and more appealing but the upfront cost is still a barrier for many. Winning one removes that barrier entirely.
And for those who don’t walk away with the grand prize, the monthly fuel cards offer real, immediate relief at the pump. Built for peace of mind Beyond the contest, BCAA Auto Marketplace is built for buyers and sellers who want the process to actually feel manageable. The platform consolidates tools that would otherwise require multiple stops: Carfax history reports, lien checks and VIN-based listings are all accessible in one place.
"You can totally get all of those services but you have to go to three or four different places," Huang says. "Within Auto Marketplace, all of the sellers and buyers have the option to be verified through Government ID and BCAA Member verification, so you know it's a real person and that they're not just somebody trying to scam you." That reliability factor matters especially right now.
Used car prices are still high and both buyers and sellers are more cautious than they used to be. The platform is designed to reduce that friction, whether you’re an experienced buyer or someone tackling the process for the first time. Listings on BCAA Auto Marketplace are free.
